🎄 For the past 8 years, the Ault family and friends have been creating a Tanner Tree for the Festival of Trees in honor of their sweet baby boy, Tanner Bowen Ault. This tradition helps give back to Primary Children’s Hospital, where the final attempts to save Tanner’s life took place. 💙

Tanner was an old soul who, in his short 3 1/2 years, touched so many lives. His bright blue eyes and charming personality captured the hearts of all who met him. He was his daddy’s little helper, his mom’s snuggle buddy, and his brother’s best friend. Tanner will forever be their Hero in Heaven. They love and miss him more than words can express, leaving a permanent hole in their hearts.

Tanner tragically passed away on April 9, 2016, in an auto-pedestrian accident. Loss is always difficult, but the pain of tragic loss adds layers of grief. As they’ve worked through that pain, they’ve found joy in honoring his life in meaningful ways. Each year, choosing a theme for his tree is a tender experience, and this year, they felt strongly about offering “Comfort in CHRISTmas” to those who may be struggling this holiday season. ✨

For those who haven’t experienced the Festival of Trees, it’s truly magical. Walking into a room filled with beautiful trees and items that honor loved ones and share their stories is so touching. The amazing volunteers and the sense of community make it the perfect way to kick off the holiday season! 🎄❤️

This tree is dedicated to Mia McDonald. Mia’s life may have been short, but her impact was immense. A heart transplant recipient with an infectious smile, Mia’s joy and love lit up every room she entered. Though she passed away during a Make-A-Wish trip, her spirit continues to inspire us all. ❤️✨

For over a decade, Mia’s family has honored her memory by decorating a tree at the Festival of Trees. This special tradition allows them to celebrate Mia’s life and spread love and kindness during the holiday season. 🎄💖

Mia’s legacy lives on through small acts of kindness and compassion. Whether helping a neighbor or offering a helping hand to someone in need, we can all carry Mia’s light forward. 🌟

This tree is dedicated in honor of Joe Torman, beloved of his family and taken too soon from them. Joe was a builder and served as President of Lotus Company. He made great contributions to providing beautiful, affordable housing throughout the State of Utah and beyond. Those lucky enough to know Joe knew of his integrity, kindness, hard work, and sense of humor. 💙💙Joe helped for many years in building projects donated to this festival. He was grateful to Primary Children’s Hospital for helping save his daughter’s life when she was very young. Joe had a love for Legos and building.

🎄Each tree has a story, and many trees at Festival of Trees honors loved ones.🎄

This tree honors the life of Levi Spencer Wright, a young boy whose love for adventure and his family’s heritage left a lasting impression on all of us.

This tree is a celebration of his love for T-Rexs, cowboy culture, and family tradition. From a quilt made by his cousins to a signed hat from his uncles and cousins who are bronc riders, each ornament tells the story of who Levi was—strong, adventurous, and full of life.
We remember Levi’s “T-Rex strong” spirit, as he loved to stomp around in his boots and roar like a dinosaur.

Come visit us at Festival of Trees this week! Many of our trees are dedicated to loved ones. Check out this beautiful tree honoring Bob and his Secret Garden.

🌿 Bob’s garden wasn’t just a garden—it was a masterpiece. Over 350 plants, winding paths, bubbling streams, and a charming shed created a secret oasis enjoyed by family, friends, and the community. Bob’s love for gardening was more than a hobby—it was his therapy and his way of nurturing everything around him, from plants to people. His attention to detail, from the hand-mixed soil to the smallest leaf, was unmatched.🌱❤️

Ruby, age 11, is an active sixth-grader who loves to swimming, violin, soccer and writing. But when Ruby was 3 years old, her parents Ali and Mark wondered if she’d make it to her fifth birthday. Ruby went to the doctor for a little white spot at the bottom of her neck. It ended up being cancer, and it had spread to her lungs, and one tumor was pressing on her heart. Just as her family was considering hospice, doctors at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital used a then-new technology, rapid whole genome sequencing (rWGS), on Ruby and the tumor. That helped them identified a new, targeted therapy for Ruby’s cancer. It worked. The tumors in Ruby’s lungs shrunk by 90 percent in a few months. “Now, there’s no evidence of disease, and she’s been off treatment for three years,” her mom said. Ruby is now giving back, and helping other families at Primary Children’s Hospital by serving meals at the Ronald McDonald Family Room. #primarychildrenshospital #festivaloftrees2024

💙 Meet Porter 💙 This brave 5-year-old has been through more in his short life than most of us could ever imagine. In April, Porter was diagnosed with stage 3 Wilms tumor. Without hesitation, doctors removed his kidney and some lymph nodes, and he began the fight of his life with chemo and radiation. After two months of treatment, they discovered that a lung nodule had grown three times its original size, pushing Porter into stage 4 cancer. This meant more surgeries, more chemo, more radiation. But through it all, Porter has been nothing short of a warrior. Even with all that he’s facing, Porter remains a light in everyone’s life. He’s the kind of kid who doesn’t let anything get him down. He is always smiling – and he’s an inspiration to all who know him. After everything he’s been through, Porter’s strength, courage, and joy are a testament to his incredible spirit. We’re thrilled to share that Porter was able to make a surprise visit to the Festival of Trees this year! It was a special moment for our us as we were able to celebrate one of our own kids from Primary Children’s Hospital. 🎄❤️ #PorterStrong #TeamPorter #FestivalOfTrees #IntermountainHealth #PrimaryChildrensHospital

Our Story

Holiday magic abounds thanks to the help of many hands and a generous community. In a 24-hour period, an empty exhibit hall transforms into a holiday winter wonderland of uniquely decorated Christmas trees, wreaths, playhouses, centerpieces, quilts, and gingerbread houses. Shops are filled with dolls, handmade crafts and quilts, freshly baked cookies and candies, an endless assortment of freshly-made fudge, hot scones, and cinnamon rolls.

Funds raised at Festival of Trees are a “A Gift of Love” to children at Primary Children’s Hospital. While the Festival of Trees lasts just four days, the spirit of this holiday tradition continues all year long in the hearts of those who volunteer and give to the Festival of Trees. Most importantly, the magic continues in the children who are cared for at Primary Children's Hospital.

Experience the holiday magic at the Festival of Trees by attending this year's event. Go to www.FestivalofTreesUtah.org to “Get Involved”, register to donate or to buy tickets. To get more information or during Festival week call: 801-565-4460. Follow our blog at www.theFestivalofTreesUtah.blogspot.com. Follow us on Instagram @festivaloftreesut
